Chapter 1242 The Civil War Begins (It’s not bad to eat sweet potatoes lately)

This is a noteworthy day in the history of the Galactic Republic.

On this day, the battle that broke out on the planet Genossis marked the beginning of the civil war between the Independent Federation and the Bank Republic.

In this initial battle, the Galactic Republic suffered heavy losses. All the masters of the Jedi Council fell, and no one survived. This dealt a huge blow to the Galactic Republic. Of course, the external narrative is that the Independent Federation used the captured Jedi Masters to fish, but the Jedi Council carelessly underestimated the enemy and misjudged the Independent Federation's fighting will and strength. It suffered heavy losses and the entire army was annihilated.

This rumor was jointly promoted by the Independent Federation and Palpatine. The reason is very simple. Everything there at that time was destroyed by Duanmu Huai. Even the Independent Federation only knew that everything there was destroyed. Who was it? What did you do? Well... Count Dooku said that he was their back-up, so the Independent Federation adopted it. After all, the fact that one's own ambition destroys the prestige of others would be in vain if it is not spread.

As for why Palpatine pushed for it, the reason is even simpler. On the one hand, he wanted to cover up the evidence that the Inquisition was involved. On the other hand, Palpatine wanted all the Jedi to die. This rumor not only blackened the Independent Federation , and also branded the Jedi Council as being rigid, stupid, and ultimately seeking death.

One black and two black, it was so exciting that Palpatine wanted to open the champagne.

After all, for Palpatine, the most troublesome thing is not the Independent Federation, but the Jedi. No matter what the fact is, at least in the Galactic Republic, most people think that the Jedi are the guardians of the Galactic Republic, so they are born Supporters of the Jedi, which is why it is difficult for Palpatine to directly attack the Jedi. After all, if you want to discredit the Jedi, most people will not agree.

But now...I'm not slandering, I'm just stating the facts!

Even the most die-hard Jedi supporter will feel after reading the battle report that this Jedi warrior is probably not brainless. More than a hundred people dared to rush in to save people. Look, the entire army was wiped out!

There's nothing you can do about it. Most people are consequentialists. If the Jedi win, they will naturally say that the Jedi are powerful, dare to outnumber the enemy, and finally succeed in rescuing their companions and defeating the independence. Federal conspiracy.

And now that you have lost...you have lost, so you are just stupid, right?

There is no need to smear Palpatine now. Many people are very disappointed with the Jedi. After all, the entire Jedi Council is involved!

Although there were some Jedi who did not have time to join due to various reasons, the collapse of the Jedi Council still dealt a huge blow to them. For these Jedi Knights, Palpatine naturally secretly tried to find a way to send them to the front line and let them die one by one in the battle with the Independent Federation... Well, there was no need to do it himself.

Palpatine was not worried that they would not die, for the simple reason that the situation in the Galactic Republic was not good at the moment.

Although the destruction of the Jedi Council made Palpatine want to open champagne in the office, the news was a huge blow to the morale of the entire Galactic Republic.

After all, even the Jedi Masters of the Jedi Council and more than a hundred Jedi Knights died at the hands of the Independent Federation. Can they really win?

This also resulted in the Galactic Republic being unable to fight back against the independent federation's offensive in the early stages, with various disadvantages.

However, the Independent Federation was not able to take advantage of the situation and go further. There is only one reason.

Inquisition.

Among the planets attacked by the Independent Federation, there are naturally many planets belonging to humans or humanoid races. Whenever the Independent Federation attempts to attack these planets, the battleships of the Tribunal will immediately appear, catch the Independent Federation fleet and blast them with explosive hammers. They burst into pieces and flew away.

Several times in a row, both the Independent Federation and the Galactic Republic discovered this problem, so the Galactic Republic immediately changed direction and concentrated its forces on galaxies that did not belong to humans to strengthen defense. After hitting the southern wall several times, the Independent Federation had to accept this painful reality. It also turned to galaxies controlled by non-human races and entered into a fight with the Galactic Republic.

So a strange scene appeared. Some galaxies have been quiet for a long time, and everyone is in peace. Some galaxies are at war with each other, fighting to the death.

Most of the people did not want to be involved in the war, and they hurriedly migrated towards those galaxies that were not at war. However... the other party refused their request to escape!

The reason is also very simple. After all, the Tribunal is a force that has been able to influence the war situation of the Independent Federation and the Galactic Republic, so it will naturally be known to everyone, and naturally they will also know the principles and stance of the Tribunal. To put it simply, they They only protect humans and demi-humans. Other than that, it’s none of their business. It’s best for them all to die!

Although in the context of the Galactic Republic, no one dared to publicly support the Tribunal's proposition in a big way, but as the beneficiaries, they were also clear in their hearts. It is precisely because our galaxy is full of humans that the Inquisition appears to help. What if those alien races are allowed in and the Inquisition feels that this galaxy no longer belongs to humans and simply abandons them?

Now that the Galactic Republic's military strength is not strong, it is being beaten back and forth. If it doesn't rely on the Inquisition to protect itself, how can it rely on the Galactic Parliament, which can't do anything? If the Inquisition doesn't come by then, and the Galactic Republic's fleet can't be counted on, wouldn't his family be doomed?

As Duanmu Huai once said, in the face of the threat of life and death, all races must immediately think of their own continuation, so those galaxies resolutely rejected other alien races' requests for asylum and directly blocked them out. . This naturally also made other alien races very dissatisfied. Of course, they did not dare to confront the Tribunal, but they were very angry at the betrayal of their own people.

We are all citizens of the Galactic Republic. Don’t you also say that the galactic races should be united? Why is it that at this time, everyone has begun to sweep away the snow in front of their own door? Are you talking about farts like what you said before?

If that's the case, then we don't want this Galactic Republic!

With this mentality, many galaxies surrendered to the Independent Federation and joined its ranks. The Independent Federation was naturally very happy about this, and would wake up laughing even in dreams at night. You must know that originally they had to spend a lot of effort to persuade those galaxies to join the independent federation. Unexpectedly, just because of the Tribunal, these galaxies actually took the initiative to move closer to them!

Because of this, under the influence of the Tribunal, the entire star field gradually turned into a situation where the Galactic Republic with humans and demi-human races as the core was fighting against the independent federation except for humans and demi-human races.

This is naturally what Duanmu Huai wants to see - of course, it is not that there are some reckless humans standing on the side of the Independent Federation, claiming to defend some kind of freedom, but these do not matter, the attitude of the Inquisition towards heretics and There is no difference for aliens. However, for the independent federation, problems also emerged.

On the surface, the Independent Federation was losing ground to the Galactic Republic, losing many galaxies.

But in fact, these galaxies are actually all galaxies of alien races. In other words, after fighting all the way to the present, after removing the essentials and retaining the essentials, the remaining galaxies are the galaxies of humans and demi-humans.

What does this mean?

It means they must face the Inquisition head-on!

And facing him is death!

In the past, if the Independent Federation could not defeat the Inquisition, it could go to other galaxies to fight the Galactic Republic's fleet.

But it's different now. No matter where they go, the Tribunal's fleet will appear as quickly as possible and smash the Independent Federation's fleet to pieces.

As for the fleet of the Galactic Republic, they were also happy to see this situation. They shrank to the rear and began to rest and rebuild.

This made the Independent Federation impatient. After all, they were fighting a blitzkrieg, seizing the opportunity when the Galactic Republic had no time to rest. And once the Galactic Republic is given a chance to breathe, when it comes to its senses, I and others may be in trouble!

In fact, strictly speaking, at this point, the goal of the Independent Federation has been completely achieved. Not only do they have the territory and strength to compete with the Galactic Republic, they have even attracted many galaxies to turn to them. It can be said that this is a hundred times better than what the Independent Federation expected when they first rebelled.

However, people are always greedy, especially for a force composed of capitalists like the Independent Federation.

When they thought that if they could capture Coruscant, they would be able to rule the entire Galactic Republic, the Independent Federation suddenly felt that the current situation of ruling by dividing the river was unacceptable.

They want to swallow the entire Galactic Republic!

Coupled with Count Dooku's instigation, the leaders of these independent federations were also confident.

However, in the face of their ambitions, the Tribunal has become an insurmountable obstacle.

At this time, the Independent Federation had to really pay attention to the Tribunal, a force that had originally ignored it. After all, if they couldn't defeat the Inquisition, they couldn't (or, to put it bluntly, dare) attack Coruscant.

But how to deal with the Inquisition?

Grievous, the robot general of the Independent Federation, put forward a wild idea in response to this problem.

That's.........full bloom!

According to General Grievous, it has carefully studied the battles of the Tribunal and discovered a problem, that is... Although the warships of the Tribunal are indeed powerful, they are relatively small in number. Through data analysis of several battlefields, General Grievous can be sure that the Inquisition has less than 300 warships in total!

And every time the Inquisition was dispatched, they would concentrate their attacks and then leave after the attack. Coupled with the powerful battleships of the Inquisition, it gives people the illusion of invincibility. But General Grievous keenly discovered the weakness of the Inquisition, that is--their number is limited after all!

In response to this weakness, General Grievous designed such a comprehensive tactic. The tactic itself is also very simple. That is to assemble all the fleets of the Independent Federation and attack at the same time to launch a comprehensive and thorough attack on the galaxies of the Galactic Republic in front of them. attack!

This is equivalent to putting down all your chips at the gambling table at once!

Although he said it was pressure, General Grievous actually felt that he had a good chance of winning.

The reason is very simple. The soldiers used by the independent federation are all robots. They can be manufactured around the clock. They can easily create millions of robot armies. If they are lost, they will be lost. It is not a big deal. But on the other hand, if they can seize the weakness of the Tribunal and invade these galaxies at the same time, even if there is one galaxy that the Tribunal does not care about, then they will release millions of robot armies to the planets in that galaxy in the shortest possible time.

At that time, it will want to see how the Tribunal will deal with the robot army that has occupied the planet! You can even take advantage of the Inquisition's weakness of human supremacy to hold the inhabitants of that planet hostage and force the Inquisition to surrender!

Thinking of this, General Grievous looked proud.

Everything is under control, this is a sure win!
